(Optional) Host Cards
XF2026 comes with two on-board 10GbE iSCSI ports on each controller. If you want to expand
the number of host ports, purchase QSAN host cards (optional components) will be the fastest
and most cost-efficiency choice.
There are several types of host cards that are available for selection. You can configure a Fibre
Channel by using QSAN 32/16Gb Fibre Channel host cards; you can choose an iSCSI by using
25/10GbE via SFP28/SFP+ or 10GBASE-T host cards. Please refer to the chapter 4.6,
Installing Optional Host Cards
section to maintain optional host cards. Following figure is the
overview of the host card installation slots.
